DESCRIPTION:Why do some societies manage to control corruption so that it 
 manifests itself only occasionally\, while other societies remain systemic
 ally corrupt? This book is about how societies reach that point when integ
 rity becomes the norm and corruption the exception in regard to how public
  affairs are run and public resources are allocated. It primarily asks wha
 t lessons we have learned from historical and contemporary experiences in 
 developing corruption control\, which can aid policy-makers and civil soci
 eties in steering and expediting this process. Few states now remain witho
 ut either an anticorruption agency or an Ombudsman\, yet no statistical ev
 idence can be found that they actually induce progress. Using both histori
 cal and contemporary studies and easy to understand statistics\, Alina Mun
 giu-Pippidi looks at how to diagnose\, measure and change governance so th
 at those entrusted with power and authority manage to defend public resour
 ces.
